Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.

Image
To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
Epicurus
Image
Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
Image
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
Image
The wise man neither rejects life nor fears death... just as he does not necessarily choose the largest amount of food, but, rather, the pleasantest food, so he prefers not the longest time, but the most pleasant.
Epicurus
